Don’t need a complex UI to list some games for 5 seconds before I start playing them.

So funny seeing the comments on the GOG article saying how it’s basically Steam’s only competition, and it would be bad if it were to fail, and then come here and see the exact opposite.

Average Lemmy user.

There’s dozens of us!

Oh good, I’ll dust mine off.

All of this stupid disagreement is about this:

You either do the right thing and lose a little exposure or you stick with it and accept that you’re a part of Elon Musk’s political machine.

For some people, that’s a choice between scraping by and failing.

I’m saying: do what you gotta do

You’re saying it’s completely impossible that a game developer remortgaged their home for their project and then failed to meet their required sales by a small amount that could be accounted for by being active on Twitter?

Like, completely impossible for that to happen under absolutely any circumstances?

If you’ve ever made a thing that took so much time that it has to be your job, and earn you money, you’d likely have a different view. If you’re ignoring a percentage of your target market because they’re on a platform you don’t like, then your project might fail, and you don’t get to keep your house.

I’ve had a couple of people ask me to play it with them for the first time in the last couple of months. Sure, it’s anecdotal, but that’s all I’ve got to go on.

DINERS! DRIVE-INS! AND DIVES!

Sorry, I have no idea, but couldn’t resist.

I agree, but that’s not reality, so I added some formatting.

Perhaps. I’m not trying to diagnose it, just making it readable for people like me.

Well, it’s not formatted properly in my client (Sync). I wouldn’t have gone to the effort if it was.

How is this not “related to games”? It’s a thing that has the sole purpose of enabling people to play games.

Mine turns 20 in 2 days. Yikes.

Don’t you want to crouch-walk around as MJ for half an hour?

Getting rid of Barbie and keeping Black Mirror. The headline seems incredibly weird to me.

There will be even fewer games that require a Pro than there are games that require the PS5 in the first place.

Potentially I’m just aging out of gaming a little bit, but I can’t name 10 exclusives for the PS5, and it’s been around for years.

Spider-Man 2 was fun, but not like $700 of fun.

Sensitive Content Warnings doesn’t allow Google access to the contents of your images, nor does Google know that nudity may have been detected

I’m not sure I 100% believe that. Or if it’s true now, I’m not confident it will remain so.

Yeah, better save battery at the time it’s most likely to be charged/charging. :-/

Cool, but you’re in a gaming community in a post about the Playstation, so I’m not really sure why you’re talking about operating systems and behaving like this when someone talks about the console the post is about.

Same to your “Linux is easy” comment then.

Not compared to using a console.

Precedent.

Oh cool! The first one was truly incredible. Looking forward to playing again. The scenery looks just as stunning as GoT.

I feel like I already got way more than my money’s worth out of the game, and I’m happy to have moved on to other games. Not every game has to last forever.

I scrolled through all the comments looking for a Red Dwarf reference. Thank you! :-)

Google made this available so they can encourage developers to use it and say “we’re not a monopoly, the developers are adding the check” and see how long they can get away with it.

Oh, ok then. Guess who didn’t read the article. :-)

What do I do with my PS5 discs if I buy the Pro one day? Are they just unusable? Will I be able to get a digital copy for free since I already paid them for the disc they stopped supporting?

It seems like there’s no sane migration path from PS5 with disc drive to the PS5 Pro.

Unless I missed it multiple times, I’m amazed that Red Dead Redemption 2 isn’t on the list at all but something like Mini Motorways is. No offense to Mini Motorways, but RDR2 was a mind-blowing game for me.

Fishing.

I’m surprised, but not disappointed.

More will come.

Almost all of that (excluding voicemail) is pure text data, isn’t it? There’s no way it should be taking up multiple hundreds of megabytes. I can’t imagine voicemail audio is particularly high quality, but if you do have a load of messages then I can see it adding up.

My Phone app user data is 277MB.

Google Keep (lots of notes with offline mode) is 10.62MB.

Google Maps’ offline maps for my entire local area is only 109MB.

I found it a bit awkward that pretty much everyone talking about these world cultures was white.

I love the game.

But wait, you seem like a really nice person that I want to talk to some more.

Are you really telling this person to enjoy something a particular way, otherwise they’re wrong?

No Man’s Sky dragged me back in again recently. There’s an expedition going on for another few weeks that was lots of fun. I’ve also started a permadeath save that I’m really enjoying.

The soundtrack alone is worth playing the game. The incidental multiplayer where you can’t communicate directly and you don’t see the name of your friend is brilliant.

It’s a game that will stay with you for a long time, sort of like Firewatch in that way.
